  "account": "Micron Technology announced on Friday that over 60,000 employees worldwide, including its 15,000 Taiwanese direct labor workers, will receive fiscal 2026 rewards. The Taiwan-based direct labor employees will receive bonuses equal to 35 to 68 months of pay, with a minimum cash compensation of T$1.7 million (US$53,809.39). Micron described the payouts as its strongest ever. The rewards also include a T$1 million (US$31,652.58) cash bonus for employees who joined before August 29, 2025, with an average total reward of T$3.4 million for entry-level engineers, comprised of T$2.9 million in cash and equity grants. Despite failing to reach an agreement with the Taoyuan union during mediation, Micron aims to avoid a strike similar to Samsung Electronics' crisis in May, which potentially impacted chip supplies and economic stability in Asia.",
  "summary": "The announcement follows signals of support for a strike from unions representing around two-thirds of the US chipmaker's workforce in Taiwan.",
